Want to buy a Honda S2000 ? [drive.com.au] As per my ad in drive.com.au, I am parting ways with my beloved car (sob)! I'm a sensible married man now, with no need for a sports car to heighten my attractiveness to the opposite gender ;) Seriously though, it is a top car - if I get time I will link to some reviews of it - but this side of the Porsche Boxter S, it's only competitor is the Nissan Z convertable (which is nice too!) It has a Totally rad (sorry for the 80s-ism there!) custom HKS Exhaust system and air filter. Not only does it sound really sweet (gets more positive comments than my friends Porches) but other S2000 drivers have commented that you can feel more pull when you accelerate :)

It's not often I listen a whole Gillmor gang podcast through, but I always enjoy lietening to Dan Bricklin, so I downloaded this one (available via the iTunes podcast directory as well as itconversations.com).
As I remember, 1 hour is about 20 minutes too long and the conversation gets to be a bit rambling in the middle. To the point that I had to re-listen to the first 30 minutes to remember why I liked it so much! Bricklin really adds some great conversation about universality of storage, mobility and processing power and provides some insight into his opinion that innovation in IT is pumping right now (as compared to the "Does IT Matter" question which, from memory, was popularised at around the same time (this podcast was released on February 4th). I was particularly interested to hear about some major innovators of his era who are getting back into IT. Update: I hadn't realised how long it was since I listened to the Gillmor gang - it seems that Feb 4 was the last Gillmor Gang published/broadcast. I think the last time I listened in must have been on my honeymoon in Paris! Update: The Gillmor gang is still making podcasts - just not on IT Conversations. Check out the podcast directory in iTunes. 01:18 PM, 01 Jul 2005 by Mark Aufflick Permalink | Short Link | Comments (0) Michelin holds their ground [www.timesonline.co.uk]
No comment from me this time, but I have to agree with Pierre Dupasquier, Michelins sporting director, who said the following:
It is nice of the FIA to have good ideas. It would have been interesting if they had that many ideas before the race in Indianapolis. 09:12 AM, 01 Jul 2005 by Mark Aufflick Permalink | Short Link | Comments (0)
